Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - General Dear Larian, can we talk itemization?

They shouldn't answer to be honest, because it would just make a Larian employee a target and thats not cool.

Public relations exists for a reason and all communication can, should and does go through PR. The public (meaning "us lot") are a force of nature in sufficient numbers. Someone makes a promise that can't be kept or they say something wrong or offensive and they can get swept away by the tidal wave of public contempt. People can be scary and unreasonable sometimes.

Some of the ideas in this thread involve very significant changes to core gameplay systems. They might not even be feasible to implement in the short term. Either way, the discussion is not a waste of time. Create a well of ideas that Larian people can draw inspiration from. If they are good ideas, they will spread and manifest somewhere, sometime.

I don't know about you guys, but whenever I find a great item, my friends get excited. So, the randomness may be annoying and the inability to reroll secondary stats is lame, but at least finding good items feels good. In some games, the looting is so boring and you never get excited when you find an upgrade.

I absolutely never expected them to change anything (even if admittedly an Enhanced Edition with a reworked itemization would make me extremely happy).

I'm arguing this topic because I'm hoping to see improvements in their future projects, not because I'm deluding myself into thinking "They will totally change the game in the way I want it"...

Which is also why I'd be curious to hear their take on it now.
Are they actually satisfied with the result? Do they think this is something they should stick to, in the future? In what way do they feel this is genuinely better than the alternate options? Etc.
